Boris Vian for Anglophones

July 7th, 2011 · No Comments

“Boris Vian for Anglophones” appeared in Strange Attractor Journal 2 (2005), edited by Mark Pilkington. Vian is one of my favorite writers, and his work is still largely unknown to English speakers. I tried in this article to give some idea of his astonishing output, including the less familiar works — such as his songs (484 0f them!), cabaret sketches, film scenarios, music criticism, and opera libretti.

I posted an excerpt over on the Ullage Group site, over here.
